Taylor Swift is now the artist with the highest-grossing concert film of all time with her ‘The Era’s Tour’ movie, beating the King of Pop, Micheal Jackson.
Taylor Swift is kicking off 2024 with yet another record under her name! After the release of “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” in the U.S. theaters on October 13, her movie is officially the highest-grossing concert film in box office history. The ‘Era’s Tour’ movie became the top-grossing film among documentary and concert films with more than $261.6 million earned from around the world. This news came one week after the release of the film in China, with a tally of $8.7 million after its debut on 31st December.
“The Eras Tour” becomes the highest-grossing ever in concert films, beating the previous record held by Micheal Jackson’s “This Is It”. This film opened in 2009 and grossed over $261.2 million at the global box office. Now Taylor has officially snatched the title from the King of Pop and all thanks to her loyal fanbase, Swifties.
Much of the total gross that the concert film has earned can be attributed to the record-breaking opening weekend it had in October. “Era’s Tour” earned $92.8 million in North America and $30.7 million internationally for a cumulative total of $123.5 million. This also marked the biggest start for a concert film of all time. It beat Justin Bieber’s “Never Say Never” which opened in 2011 and earned $73 million in the same timeframe. It also stood as the second-biggest October debut ever at the domestic box office, behind the 2019 release “Joker”, which pulled $96 million and became the seventh-biggest weekend opener of 2023.
This huge success comes after the “Shake It Off” singer played a non-traditional release. She partnered with AMC Theatres, the world’s largest cinema chain, instead of opting for distribution from a major studio for the release of “The Eras Tour.” AMC Chairman and CEO Adam Aron said, “On behalf of all of us at AMC Theatres, I send my congratulations and eternal gratitude to Taylor Swift for her remarkable and record-setting box office performance with ‘Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour‘ concert film.” “Her spectacular performance delighted fans around the world and serves as another strong reminder about the power of extraordinary film making and magic of movie theaters,” he continued.
